Default RE: Ready for second plane?

The mid and low wings don't come in as hot as you think. TO be honest, my Sig 40 Star 60 is actually much slower than my trainer for a landing. I guess the difficult part is I have to start my final approach about 6 miles away since the thing floats forever.

Sometimes hot landings are easier too. The plane responds better when it's got some wind under the wings.

If I were you..I"d get a 2nd plane. And it'd be a mid wing or a low wing...not a "shoulder wing" like an Ugly Stik....although those aren't bad either.

Even my Ultimate biplanes come in at about 2 mph.
